Winter is quickly approaching: The TAC team is gearing-up for the oncoming winter season! As we wait for Indian Summer to end, and look forward to snowfall in the high peaks, now is a great time to dust-off your gear and brush-up on your avalanche awareness. Look for upcoming events and trainings, and we're excited for a safe and snowy ski season!

The Bottom Line:

Early Season Snowpack Update 4: There's still not enough continous snow to ski or ride. Fortunately, the high pressure ridge is breaking down and we'll keep our fingers crossed that storms track our way this weekend. A shallow faceted snowpack exists above 11,000' on shady and northerly aspects. Although not a major concern right now, once we get snow and introduce a cohessive slab on top, this will be our first problematic weak layer of the season.
